Jeff Andrews

Truchard Family Chair in Engineering and Director of 6G@UT

My research is on the theory and development of wireless communication systems. We use mathematical tools and data driven ML methods to model, analyze, optimize and create new wireless communication architectures and techniques. We are particularly focused on the underlying technologies that will be used in 6G-era cellular and satellite networks.

We work closely with leading R&D groups in industry to develop these ideas and to transition the results to practice. Our research is supported by AT&T, Amazon Leo, Keysight, Nokia, Qualcomm, Ericsson, and the US National Science Foundation, along with WNCG and 6G@UT.

Biography

Jeffrey Andrews received the B.S. in Engineering with High Distinction from Harvey Mudd College, and the M.S. and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University. He is the Truchard Family Endowed Chair in Engineering, in the Dept. of ECE at the University of Texas at Austin. He developed CDMA systems at Qualcomm from 1995-97, and has consulted for many technology companies and government agencies over the last two decades.

Dr. Andrews is an ISI Highly Cited Researcher, and has received the 2019 IEEE Tomayisu Award, the 2015 Terman Award, a 2007 NSF CAREER award and has been co-author of sixteen best paper award recipients, including seven annual IEEE journal paper awards. He is co-author of the books Fundamentals of WiMAX and Fundamentals of LTE, and is an IEEE Fellow.

He has supervised over 30 PhD dissertations.  His students include five IEEE Fellows, professors at top universities in the USA, Asia, and Europe, and also include industry leaders on LTE and 5G systems, on which they collectively hold over 2,000 US patents.
